White Papers
Increased use of wireless video and high speed wireless data networking drive demand for new standards, such as 802.11ac to enable higher throughput. Design validation engineers must ensure their 802.11ac designs will perform well under the most demanding modulation schemes, including MIMO spatial multiplexing configurations.
To validate 802.11ac and wideband MIMO transmitter performance for other formats, a multichannel signal analyzer should be used to demodulate the multistream waveforms and measure EVM and other physical layer parameters.
Keysight’s wideband multichannel PXI signal analyzer solutions enable R&D and test engineers to validate their 802.11ac designs with a mixture of measurement accuracy, fast speed, flexibility and scalability in a small form factor.
This white paper provides detailed step by step instructions for configuring a wide bandwidth, high speed multichannel PXI VSA. It also explains how to understand performance tradeoffs for various configurations.
The MIMO VSA is typically comprised of the following modules (one module can accommodate up to four channels, unless otherwise noted):
– M9302A PXI Local Oscillator
– M9352A PXI Hybrid Amplifier/Attenuator
– M9362A-D01 PXIe Microwave Quad Downconverter
– M9168C PXI Programmable Step Attenuator Module (one per channel)
– M9202A PXIe 12-bit Wideband Digitizer (one per channel)
